Daily Question # 501

Which  event ?

Quoting  Abhijeet ,

“Michael Johnson vs Donovan Bailey at Toronto’s SkyDome in 1997.

Though Bailey was the 100m champion,Johnson was considered to be the world’s fastest man.Earlier in the spring of 1997, Johnson began performing television promotions in which he billed himself as “the world’s fastest man” as a result of his 200 meters world record, despite the fact that the 100 metres world record holders are traditionally given that unofficial title .

A 150m race was held to determine the fastest man with 75m of curved track and 75m of straight track.Bailey won,Johnson pulling out around the 110 m mark, claiming an injured quadriceps muscle.
Thus,Bailey retained the title of “the world’s fastest man””
